My daughter's transplant resulted in cardiac arrest, hole in the intestines, coma, the liver ended up outside the body, collapsed lung, and more. It resulted in a lifetime of torment for both me and her. The mother settled a claim for$4.5 million. This doctor was the lead surgeon on the botched transplant. He lied to me and intentionally misled me every step of the way. Stay far away from this doctor and the fraud and problem-riddled Jackson memorial/Holtz Children's Hospital. I will never forgive this man for destroying my life.

Dr. Tekin has the best bedside manner I've ever seen. He spent ample time with us answering all of our questions and going over everything in detail. We never felt rushed. It was apparent from the beginning just how knowledgable he is and he immediately put my husband and I at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I took my 6 year old daughter to Dr. Tekin for a rare condition that involved choledochal cysts inside and outside her liver. My husband and i were fearful as all parents would be, but he and his staff were so comforting and caring. Dr. Tekin performed a successful surgery on my daughter this past month. The followup at the hospital was amazing. He really cares for his patients. Its now been 3 weeks post-op and my daughters scar already looks amazing but more importantly shes healthy! I had to write a review because when we were choosing a doctor...it would have been helpful. I would definitely recommend him!
